I was actually really touched by what Billy said about the the current situation. I'm glad he realizes how important D'arcy and James are/were to the fans, and that he realizes it won't ever be the same without them.

At the beginning of this whole reunion thing, I wanted so badly for there to be a four-piece band like in the old days. But now I realize how much more... I dunno, respectful it is for Billy to keep himself and Jimmy alone as "permanent" band members.

Or maybe it's just easier this way and he's making all that up about not wanting to try to recreate the past.

Hey, did anyone else get chills when "1979" started playing? Man, that song still gets to me after hearing it so many times...
